Michael Prins - Close to you - De Beste Singer-Songwriter aflevering 2

I didn't change my name for good luck it just happened to mine
didn't ask for any reason or any of your time
I don't need your advertising i don't seek for diamond eyes
i don't fit in your perfection i don't fit into your lie

but to you my darling for you i truly sing
for you me crazy babe i would do just anything
just to get close to you just to get close to you
so until that day is mine

and the other night you made me dance but now i act insane
and i try to find reason and i try not to be strange
and i think that is funny cause i'm nowhere near like you
now you made of me a villain but maybe that's more true

and i'm searching for my pride again
as i'm haunting for your eyes again
but you're no where to be found tonight
still i wait in every morning light
until that day is mine

so is it me the one who is out of side or am i running out of time
do you want to see me present yet to guard you through the night
is your vision to be save and told that everything's alright
when the whole god dame world knows about the danger of this tide
well then i would come back for you yes i would come back for you
knowing you would walk away knowing you would walk away as soon as you where saved

and then you might not will remember me or act like you're surprised
when everyone's surrounding you but darling that don't mind
just turn around and look at me when you pass me in the aisle
i still hold a thousand doors for you to talk to you and i
could get close to you yes i could get close to you
and why won't you see me through, knowing i would never leave
knowing i would never leave

so until that day is mine
darling i would wait for you i would wait for you
and why won't you see me through i would wait for you my love my love my love

[niekvanwensen]

Its criminal how this song doesn’t have billions of streams all over the world, this is just an objectively great song

[TheMichaelprins]

iedereen bedankt voor alle mooie reacties!

[writer]

Who else is still moved by this breath-taking rendition in March 2022?

[goodvibes]

21th of June, 2024 This song still touches me in every part of my heart and soul.... such a beautiful song!

[gladue]

7 years and this song still hits me in the feels.

[Schrijfbaak]

Probably the best moment in Dutch tv history. This is how music creates magic.

[fabsmusick]

10 years and still makes me cry like the very first time

[jeroenvanwijk]

One of or maybe thé most beautiful English songs ever written by a Dutchy. Anyhow, my favorite ever. Supported me so much in difficult times

[RicardoVanHouten]

dit programma moet echt terug de nummers die zijn geschreven ben nog steeds speechless

[edvanlee]

Best english  song ever performed and written by a dutch guy 

I didn't change my name for good luck, it just happened to be mine
Didn't ask for any reason or any of your time
I don't need your advertising, I don't seek for diamond eyes
I don't fit in your perfection, I don't fit into your life

But to you my darling, for you I would truly sing
For you my crazy babe, I would do just anything
Just to get close to you

And the other night you made me dance but now I act insane
I try to find a reason and I try not to be strange
And I think that it's funny cause I'm nowhere near like you
You made of me a villain, oh but maybe that's more true

And I'm searching for my pride again
As I'm haunting for your eyes again
But you're nowhere to be found tonight
Still I wait in every morning light
Until that day is mine

So is it me the one who is out of sight, or am I running out of time
Do you want to see me prisoned, yet to guard you through the night
Is your vision to be save and told that everything's alright
When the whole god damn world knows about the danger of this tide
Well then I would come back for you, yes I would come back to you
Knowing you would walk away, knowing you would walk away 
So until that day is mine

And then you might not well remember me, or act like you're surprised
When everyone's surrounding you, but darling that don't mind
Just turn around and look at me when you pass me in the aisle
I still hold a thousand doors for you, just to talk to you so I could get close to you 
And why won't you see me through
Knowing I would never leave
Knowing I would never leave

So until that day is mine, darling I would wait for you
I would wait for you, I would wait for you
And why won't you see me through, I would wait for you 
Darling I would wait for you, my love
My love, why won't you see me through
That darling I would wait for you

[SvenvandeBergh]

Heel jammer dat het in deze versie nooit meer te horen was op de radio. Mooi dat ik hier getuige kon zijn als kijker. Niet elk TV moment is verloederd en gelukkig kunnen we bepaalde momenten van kwaliteit terugkijken op YouTube tegenwoordig.

[drissboukili]

Waar ben je? De nog steeds meest begaafde, muziekaalse, song schrijver van ons landje, die mensen optilt, ontroerd en stil doet worden? ....2022.

[ronaldcward]

Why isn't he a bigger star? Amazing talent

[EmilPiano]

Best moment in dutch television, also this program needs to come back.

[Denallo]

Wat een topjaar was dit toch met Maaike en Michael, onvergetelijke TV !!

[johnnyFishborn]

he is the only one! he is genuine, when you say the truth nobody can't stop you

[charissa]

It's been 3 years, and i still cry every time i hear this song

[anneliegottlieb]

Ik vind het egt een super mooi nummer elke keer als ik het hoor krijg ik tranen in mijn ogen

[Atomaster]

Onvoorstelbaar dat zo'n talent in ons kleine landje rondloopt. Hier gaan we veel van horen.

[rachelrotterdam]

Nooit gewesten dat deze niet in de top 40 heeft gehaald... Zo mooi
